The road season may be starting to wind down for the year but this weekend was packed full of racing on the road, in the mud and on the boards, and we have a round up of the action in one easy location for you.
Next weekend Japan hosts the Saitama Criterium but this weekend was about the final 1.HC race on calendar, the Japan Cup, with several big names ready to race the 1990 World Championships course and close out the season with a victory. Bauke Mollema took the win ahead of Diego Ulissi (Lampre-Merida) and Yukiya Arashiro (Japan National Team) to make it two wins in two days after Fumy Beppu won the criterium on Saturday.
"I was just following attacks until the last time up the climb, and then I saved all my energy for the finish. I knew it would most likely come to a sprint with a small group and it was better to save all my energy for this, but I still was not sure to win because the others were faster than me. But in the end I was strong enough to do it," said Mollema of his second win of the season after the Tour of Alberta last month.
